Hello! I’m Sophia Steinauer, and I’m so honored to serve as President of Chi Omega’s Iota chapter for the 2025 term. I am a junior at the University of Texas, studying Corporate Communication, with a minor in Professional Sales and Business Development. As president, this role gives me the chance to work with our executive board, oversee chapter operations, strengthen our connection with the national organization, and work with the overall Sorority and Fraternity Life organization here at UT! However, my favorite part is getting to know our members individually and supporting them however I can.

For me, leadership is about making an impact. I want to create an environment where every member feels seen, valued, and empowered to grow. My goal is to lead with positivity, authenticity, and purpose—and to leave the chapter even stronger for the next generation!

I’m so excited for what’s ahead and can’t wait to see all we accomplish together this year!
